I'm super excited! Well, Starsilk doesn't seem too excited but her expression is probably more along the lines of "it's about time" more than anything 🤭
So, as you might have noticed, Starsilk has evolved into quite some changes throughout the years. I find that doing digital art is not the same for me as drawing on paper. So I've chosen to draw her on paper first and -then- add a digital touch and eureka! Progress.
What I've noticed from the ponies in MLP is that their tales are large and a main asset to their appearance. Whereas I would make her tail very small and out of the way.
Her "curtain bangs" were always too small on the digital art pad as well. With pen, I capture her exactly as I imagine her, then on digital pen and pad, I see so many "off keys" that it drives me insane haha
So don't be surprised if you see some transformations in her art as time goes along.
I wanted an OC that had a piece of all the characters in some way, because they each meant something to me in some way.
She originally had YELLOW coat like fluttershy, because I loved Fluttershy. But it just didn't feel right. Too bright. So I borrowed Pinkie Pie's coat, but with wings like Fluttershy. Purple hair like Twilight Sparkle. Playful and not afraid to get dirty with her work (working at the shop) like Applejack, yet feminine like Rarity. She's a little cheeky like Rainbowdash but I haven't seen any other trait to represent her other than the fact that she has energy and can jump on clouds, I dunno.. lol
Anyway, if you've read all the way through, thank you for being a part of my thought process as I continue to evolve and develop my character. I used to hide away in shyness and hope not to come back until I had "more experience" but I've seen how chill this community is, so, why not grow now. It's pretty cool.
Anyway, here's to art progress!
